Oh my. I didn't know you were magic!! It definitely doesn't look like 6 kids could live there. Wow, wow, wow! Can you wiggle your nose or whatever you do and direct some of that amazement in my direction????

Sunday Sound Out Question: I must have missed something. I thought you were not moving b/c of the housing market being so bad and the loan and what it would sell for didn't match up? Did that change and I missed that post?

So, ever considered becoming a self-employed de-clutterer and offering this as a service to people? I'm sure, there'd be people who'd be more than willing to pay for somebody to help them de-clutter and re-organise their houses!

When I was growing older (still haven't grown up), we had to have our rooms like the "after" pictures every Saturday or we got NO priviledges; no tv, no going to a friend's house, no playing outside, nothing. And, if Mom had to help, things got thrown away, not put away.

Wait a minute! I just realized something. You have THREE boys. Where does boy #3 sleep? And did you buy new comforters and valances? And hang them yourself? I wouldn't have the first idea how to do that. Very impressive!!!

I don't want to be a downer or anything, but how long do you think that will last? I've discovered when I clean the kids' room like that, it lasts till they've been home for about 4 seconds. Just sayin'.....

Question - are you getting the house ready to rent out? I know you said you couldn't sell it do to market conditions. Hopefully you'll be able to rent it out and use that rent to pay for your new digs. Thinking and praying for your family as you go through another huge "bump" in the road! :)
